Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?

Now Klassen as Kuririn is bad? How does his voice sound goofy? Muten Roshi's dub voice, I get, but Kuririn? i'll defend it. I wasn't aware people didn't like it. I think he sounded good as Krillin during the Saban/Pioneer dubs. In my opinion his performance is another that deteriorated from poor di...

Re: The reason why Dende was Kami in Movie 6 finally explained!!

Ah I could've sworn that line was in the original, but clearly I was wrong.

Dende filling the role would still lead to the assumption though, at least now watching the movie retroactively because of how the main story plays out.

Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?

These movies are what made me appreciate Kelamis as Goku. Before seeing them my only exposure to his Goku had been his brief stint in Season 2, and his Westwood dub performance in the Android/Cell saga which suffered from being rushed/poor direction. I still prefer Schemmel and Corlett, but Kelamis ...

Re: The reason why Dende was Kami in Movie 6 finally explained!!

There's actually a line by Krillin at the start of the movie were he mentions Piccolo being a Super Namek. It's in the scene at the start with them all on the spaceship.

Re: Are you done with Dragon Ball?

I've never completely lost interest, and will usually rewatch the old stuff every couple of years. And I still revisit many of the old games. I will say I'm struggling to get through Super on my latest rewatch. It might be because of the retellings, which are inferior to the movie versions. Still I ...

Re: Non-Americans: thoughts on the Funimation dub?

It aired in the UK for certain portions of the series (Ginyu-Trunks sagas, the Fusion saga, and much later Kai and Super), and was also used for most of the home releases, videogames, and theatrical screenings. I've always been a fan of the cast, particularly Sean Schemmel's Goku, and I maintain a h...

Re: When I compare all the English voices of goku including dbza the one that sounds like how goku sounds like in my hea

I watched Abridged until around the time the Androids appeared before stopping. I did also watch the Goku vs Superman death battles, which featured MasakoX as a more serious Goku. Based on that I just don't see how he even remotely compares to Sean Schemmel, particularly from Kai onwards. Same with ...

Re: When I compare all the English voices of goku including dbza the one that sounds like how goku sounds like in my hea

I've never agreed with people who say he'd make a good official Goku. He's very good at the exagerated parody version of Goku, but I just can't see him voicing the actual character and making it work. The voice he uses has this constant underlying tongue-in-cheek feel to it, which would undermine al...

Re: Favorite Dragon Ball Holiday Memories

For me it was Christmas 2003 when I got Budokai 2, my first PS2 game and first DBZ game. I was blown away by how good it looked and played, and spent the rest of the Christmas holidays playing it non-stop, replaying story mode to unlock all the characters. I remember getting slaughtered by Kid Buu o...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 12; Still Unreleased

I was thinking more along the lines that she'd seen the episode itself after it was fully dubbed. I know some of the VAs say they only heard their own recordings, but it's not unthinkable that some got to see the finished product. Unless they actually did dub Mystical Adventure and never released it...

Hadn't Jillian Michaels taken over the role by this point? Just thinking back now, but yes she did.

Although Saffron did provide some additional voices in...

On that note did you catch what Saffron Henderson was saying about how the first episode of Dragon Ball was her favourite and it was redone at Ocean? That part confused me. This is something that Saffron has brought up before, she mentioned it to a friend of mine who met her at a convention. He was...

Re: Where did the "GT takes place 10 years later" myth start?

I'm pretty sure an an early UK promo for Blue Water GT mentioned it being 10 years. And the Sky TV guide also said 10 years, so for me that's where the idea came from. Although neither English dub nor the Japanese version ever mentioned it within the show itself. Funimation's Season 1 DVD booklet ac...

Re: What was your first introduction to Dragon Ball?

Cartoon Network UK in 2000. I saw bits and pieces of Seasons 1 and 2. I remember Goku fighting Nappa. I think the first episode I sat down and watched properly was the 'Bulma's bad day' filler episode on Namek. I also remember seeing Goku fighting Burter and Jeice. The episode that made me obsessed ...

Re: Which character has the best voice in the Funimation dub?

I have to go with Sean's Goku. Early on he lacked experience and was forced to impersonate his 2 predecessors. His delivery was off but his actual voice was a good fit. As he spent more and more years voicing the character he improved tremendously, both in terms of acting and screaming. In the Buu s...

Re: Why did the Ocean Dub have 3 actors for Goku?

Was anyone who grew up in Canada and UK bothered by this? The main character getting a new voice every arc can't be good for business can it? Why was it hard for Ocean to have a consistent Goku? It was more than just 3 if you followed the entire UK broadcast. We had the dub switch multiple times on...
